The company has been trading since October 2006. Cards Unlimited is growing in spite of the downturn. We think people are starting to look online for cheaper deals. But small businesses - hotels etc. - have been looking online and form a large part of our customer base. The company is being sold because it is becoming too much for me to manage, and we do not want to start hiring staff. I have a new business idea and want the funds to help set that up. We sell cards to individuals, businesses and retailers. We sell the cards in packs of 1, 5, 5 mixed, 6 for retail, and bulk packs of 25. They are priced on a sliding scale according to the number bought. The greeting card industry is huge in the UK - about £11bn in 2007 - and grossly inefficient. Cards cost 10p to produce but sell for £2. The £1.90 difference is spent on an inefficient supply chain, via sales reps, middle men and shop floor rental. There is ample room for profitable innovation here. What is for sale: a sophisticated website with easy online administration portal, a stock of about 60,000 cards, a list of repeat customers, legal terms and conditions, including for second and third phases of the business, which we can discuss. If you are already a card retailer and would like to expand online, the site can easily be modified to accommodate your stock. Some training, site modifications and general handover could be negotiated. | | | | | | EXPIRED - AWAITING DELETION | | | | | REFERENCE: | 25326 / RightBiz | | | | | | Request more information about this business.. | | ENQUIRIES: | | | | CONTACT SELLER TO GET THE SELLERS DIRECT CONTACT DETAILS AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS ONLY | | | | | | | | | | | |
